Please support new DUer Stephanie DuBois as you have supported me for nearly 19 years!I’ve run for office before with DU support-not just financial but moral support, tech support (my God, what would I do without OmahaSteve?), emotional, mental, and even spiritual) and I’m eternally grateful for that. I’m asking again for DU support. I’m in the eye of the hurricane, ground zero in violent rhetoric, grifters & traitors like ‘Cowboys for Trump’ Couy Griffin, but we have even worse in David Clements…more info in the coming weeks. While I’m not running for office this election I recruited my friend and ‘partner in mischief’ for the past 20 years, Stephanie DuBois, to run for Otero County Commissioner and I’ll be asking for you to support this new DUer. ![]() This was in 2010 at our second We Trust Women rally…DUer duhneece is in purple hoodee, and DUer and candidate Stephanie DuBois is second from right in ball cap. Here’s Stephanie registering voters at the 2022 We Trust Women rally: ![]() Two days ago Otero County Commission passed a resolution ‘Otero County is a Sanctuary for the Unborn.’ Truly horrible resolution but the GOOD NEWS: Stephanie and I’ve been the lead organizers for the We Trust Women rallies since 2009 but we quit during Covid. A young woman called the newspaper a couple of months ago and was given my name. I told her I just couldn’t organize this year, she pleaded, I told her that if she would meet me at City Hall to fill out a permit (done as a courtesy but it ensures that we get all 4 corners of ‘our favorite intersection’ on the permit, and we get all 4 corners with no counter-protestors) and prepare a graphic with all the info, I would share it. It was incredibly electrifying. We got huge (for us) crowds at two rallies with a very diverse mix. Our group was mostly seniors, mostly Democrats….her group (she’s 22, gay, married, young mother) is young LGBTQ, some military (we have Holloman AFB here), far too many not registered to vote. We’ve organized into 4 teams to register voters at the only place we register more Dems and Independents , the barber shop that most minorities get their hair cut at (dangling p…). THEN, when our County proposed this resolution, we got many to come and speak out against the resolution …to no avail, but they attended their first-ever county commission meeting, they understand the need to elect Democrats up and down ballot. Donate to Stephanie here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/dufordubois22 Please support new DUer Stephanie DuBois as you have supported me for nearly 19 years!

We HAD to do something and we are organizing in an amazing way. |

3. Thank you!
I just want to thank duhneece for her support and hopefully the support of fellow DUers.
It's been a hard fight in Otero County, especially lately with the passing of the anti-choice resolution, but I think with the motivation of the younger generation we have a chance to change things. |

11. We're trying. "We won't be idle with despair "...
While admit to curling up fetal position too many times to count in the past few years, starting with the day TFG and Putin won in 2016.

12. Go, Stephanie, and Duneece! Give district 2 a Democratic county commissioner.
At least the former commissioner-traitor who refused to certify the vote will be gone - for now. What a shame he only got effectively "time served" for January 6.

15. The Republican opponent is 'Couy' with lipstick
She’s tried to have me removed from lawfully electioneering with her influence on Sheriff.
She was cited for animal cruelty but managed to get the name changed to her husband’s (he wasn’t there and it wasn’t their home), who pleaded guilty to sex with a child….with her influence on police. She’s Republican Chair, and they have annual ‘Law Enforcement Appreciation’ dinner. ‘Nuff said. |

18. Oh my, worse than I hoped, but what the primary sift is choosing for.
So many places, any relatively decent conservative candidates are getting killed in insane primaries in what's almost become a defiant sift for depravity, such as animal and sexual predators.
Here in my blood-red GA district, we had one Republican candidate for congress this year who got our hearts thumping hopefully (a relative thing) by running on real issues. But he didn't come close to our incumbent who tries to compete with Marjorie Greene for depravity but can't interest even RW press. This craziness will pass too, though. Especially because of people like you guys. |

I hope you have found like-minded folks.
I remember feeling like I was alone, like I was the only Democrat, the only liberal in the county. |

21. :) Yes. Volunteering from home because of high Covid risk really hasn't
been the same as being with others, of course. I miss that, but we still have friends and like-minded folk are still meeting and busy. Like there.
